The following are the two ways by which age of fossils can be estimated ::::
1) The fossils at the upper strata of the earth's surface are considered to be newer than those found in the lower strata.
2) Another way of estimating the age of fossils is by the detecting the ratio of different isotopes of the same element in the fossil material.
